Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the rock in air, W = 110 N

Since, W = mg

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{110\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}$

m = 11.22 kg

We need to find the apparent weight of the rock when it is submerged in water. Apparent weight is equal to the weight of liquid displaced i.e.

$M=d\times V$

d is the density of water, $d=1000\ kg/m^3$

V is the volume of rock, $V=0.00337\ m^3$

$M=1000\ kg/m^3\times 0.00337\ m^3$

M = 3.37 kg

The apparent weight in water, W = m - M

$W=7.85\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2$

W = 76.93 N

So, the apparent weight of the rock is 76.93 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

0.331m

Explanation:

wave equation: v=f λ

v=30000m/s

f=90500 Hz

λ= $\frac{v}{f}$

λ= $\frac{30000}{90500}$

λ= 0.311m

An angry physics student releases a wrecking ball as shown. The wrecking ball is just about to hit the building at the final tim

daser333 [38]

Answer:

the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force)

Explanation

Explanation:For this exercise the student must create an impulse to move the ball towards the building, in this part he performs positive work since the applied force and the displacement are in the same direction.

When the ball moves it has a kinetic energy and if its height increases or decreases its potential energy also changes, but the sum of being must be equal to the initial work.

When the ball arrives and collides with the building, non-conservative forces, of various kinds; rubbing, breaking, etc. It transforms this energy into a part of heat and another in mechanical energy that the building must absorb, let us destroy its wall

Consequently, the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force

A skydiver is falling at constant velocity. If a force of 600 N is pulling down on the skydiver, how much force must be acting u

skelet666 [1.2K]

Well, if the skydiver is at constant velocity, than there’s no acceleration, as stated by Newton’s first law. Thus the total net force would equate to 0. In order to make this statement true, the answer would have to be exactly 600 N.

Water flows into a horizontal, cylindrical pipe at 1.4 m/s. the pipe then narrows until its diameter is halved. what is the pres

inna [77]

According to the Bernoulli's equation,the pressure difference between the wide and narrow ends of the pipe is given by

$\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )$

Here, $v_{1}$ is the velocity of water through wide ends of cylindrical pipe and $v_{2}$ is the velocity of water through narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

Given, $v_{1} =1.4 m/s$

Now from equation continuity,

$v_{1} A_{1} = v_{2} A_{2}$ .

Here, $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are cross- sectional areas of wide and narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

As pipe is circular, so

$v_{1} \pi r^2_{1} = v_{2} \pi r^2_{2}$ .

At the second point, the diameter is halved, which means the radius is also halved. Therefore,

$v_{1} r^2_{1} = v_{2}(\frac{1}{2} r_{1})^2 \\\\ v_{2} = 4 v_{1}$

$v_{2} = 4 \times 1.4 = 5.6 m/s$

Substituting these values with the density of water is $1000 \ kg/m^3$ in pressure difference formula we get.

$\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 kg/m^3(5.6^2-1.4^2)\\\\ \Delta P = 14700\ Pa$
